The Padres Monday reduced their number of pending arbitration cases to one when they reached a 2012 salary agreement with Clayton Richard.

The 28-year-old, left-handed starter will make $2.705 million this season.

Richard had been seeking $3.1 million this year while the Padres arbitration figure was $2.35 million.

Richard’s signing leaves right-handed pitcher Dustin Moseley as the last of the club’s 11 arbitration-eligible players to reach an agreement for 2013. Moseley’s arbitration hearing is scheduled for next month. Moseley is seeking $2.55 million while the club’s offer is $1.5 million.

Richard is 24-20 with a 3.84 earned run average in 63 starts with the Padres since coming to San Diego from the White Sox as part of the package for Jake Peavy. Richard was 5-9 with a 3.88 ERA last season when his campaign ended after 18 starts for shoulder surgery.

Richard is 11-11 with a 2.72 ERA in 31 career starts at Petco Park.

Missions to be honored

Two members of the Padres Double-A affiliate in San Antonio will be honored during the Padres annual award dinner Feb. 10 at Petco Park.

Third baseman Jedd Gyorko will be honored as the Padres 2011 Minor League Offensive Player of the Year. And Missions hitting coach Tom Tornincasa has been named winner of the Jack Krol Award as the 2011 Minor League Coach of the Year.

San Antonio won the Texas League title after posting the league’s best regular season record.

Gyorko, 24, started the season at Single-A Lake Elsinore and hit .333 in 140 games between the Storm and Missions with 47 doubles, two triples, 25 home runs, 114 RBI and 119 runs scored. He led all of minor league baseball in hits and total bases (318) and was second in RBI. His 192 hits were the sixth-most in the minors dating back to 1992.

Under Tornincasa’s guidance, San Antonio finished second in the Texas League in hitting (.269) while hitting 159 home runs -- the most ever by a Missions team in the Wolff Stadium era (1994-present) and the second-most all-time in franchise history.

Cuts and additions

The Padres have signed two minor league players while recently releasing 10 players from their system.

Both additions were formerly in the Padres system – center fielder Yordany Ramirez signed and infielder Anthony Contreras.
